| The same old wine - Jaihoon http://jaihoon.com/egoptics/samewine.htm The same old wine I sell But different names I tell… Two slaves of God once secretly conversed What wish at their hearts had they rehearsed One slave said, “I care not for the life on the earth I kept my wish for the life after death The desire of my soul is naught but one All I wish is nothing but a glimpse of Him The drop finds joy in the Sea alone For years have I worshipped Him not seen” The other replied “I too wish for your desire Your words have set me on fire But for another wish do I crave Which in this world I hope to have (it) Before I stand on Tur as Kalim I wish to have a sight of Mim Let my face radiate from that Full Moon Whose light shines over the sun at mid-noon All the sages who before him lived Craved to be in his caravan led’ O reader! Is it a wonder that Jaihoon is eager for that Face to be seen Even the Lord invited him to come near His throne Ah! Tale upon tale- That same old tale I repeat The same old wine I sell But different names I tell The nightingale will naturally return Where the Rose is that makes him yearn The atom shall revolve around the nucleus Pulled by a force more than a hundred horses Therefore The same old wine I sell But different names I tell. sallallahu ala Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam! Notes Seeing the Creator is the final desire of a believer which is fulfilled in Paradise. However, some of them also nurse an ambition to see His Beloved in this earthly world. And the Blessed One do appear to them in their dreams! It is reported in authentic hadiths that Satan cannot impersonate the form of Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Tur...Kalim: The Mount Tur where Prophet Moses (as) fainted as he had a reflection of the Ultimate Realty. Mim: The first arabic letter of Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Even the Lord invited him: The incident of Al-miraj |
